Now we can understand why Democrats spent the last year attacking the President as someone who lied to take America into an unnecessary war and destroy brave young American lives for his corporate friends in Texas. They did it to disarm and anesthetize us, to deconstruct the very idea of what truth is or what a fact is or what is is -- and prepare us for the most shameless charade in political memory, the phoniest convention for the phoniest party ever to mount an American electoral stage.
In Boston the Democrats -- the party of Al Sharpton, Jimmy Carter, Teddy Kennedy and Michael Moore -- presented themselves as the party of patriotism and military glory and American military strength, and John Kerry as a man whose life has been one long preparation to be commander-in-chief. "I am John Kerry," he saluted his audience to begin his convention speech, "reporting for duty." Pardon me while I hurl. This is a man who came back from Vietnam to stab not only his country but his comrades-in-arms in the back. This is a man who to this very day has an honored place in the Communist enemy's "War Crimes Museum" -- that's American war crimes. This is a party and a wannabe commander in chief that has clamored and voted to oppose America's wars in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and in Iraq. This is a party and a commander in chief that lent comfort and aid to Communist dictators in Central America during the last years of the Cold War and nearly brought the Reagan presidency down for attempting to oppose the Communist tide.
This is a man and a party that voted to cut America's military and its intelligence services year after year, a man and a party who refused to institute the security measures that would have prevented 9/11. And this is a man and a party that has sabotaged the war on terror since the day Baghdad was liberated, that has embraced the reprehensible traitor Michael Moore, and the antiwar left of the Dean campaign, that has spread monstrous lies about its commander in chief and and in doing so undermined the nation's credibility and defenses. If another terrorist state were to become a threatening nuclear force (Iran comes immediately to mind) what American president can now face that enemy down with a credible military threat?
This is a party that from the beginning to the end of its convention pretended to be what it is not. And that is because it fears that American people already know what it is.
David Horowitz is the author of numerous books including an autobiography, Radical Son, which has been described as “the first great autobiography of his generation,” and which chronicles his odyssey from radical activism to the current positions he holds. Among his other books are The Politics of Bad Faith and The Art of Political War. The Art of Political War was described by White House political strategist Karl Rove as “the perfect guide to winning on the political battlefield.” Horowitz’s latest book, Uncivil Wars, was published in January this year, and chronicles his crusade against intolerance and racial McCarthyism on college campuses last spring.

How true this article is.
Note: the link says some unkind and untrue things about President Bush, and I apologize for that. But Kerry's actions in Vietnam are, IMO, of interest. The vast majority of the piece refers to Kerry.
God bless David Horowitz. It's always the converted who make the best zealots.
Yes, the legitimization of Sharpton, and Carter's sickening fawning over Moore speak volumes about what the Dems have become. There is no lie they will not tell, and no truth they won't suppress in order to regain power. If they win in November, they will have pulled off the biggest fraud in the history of American politics.
Historical retrospect shows that the Democratic Party was a critical prop of International Communism; the Soviet Union and the Sandanista government of Nicaragua fell because of pressure from Ronald Reagan and over the bitter complaint of the Democratic Party and John Kerry.This is a man and a party that voted to cut America's military and its intelligence services year after year, a man and a party who refused to institute the security measures that would have prevented 9/11.
The truth is that before 911 George Bush would have been laughed off the stage of any debate in which he had pledged to make fighting Osamma Ben Ladin his top priority. The election of 2000 was simply not about that, and it is not only tendentious but an extreme second guess to suggest that GWB was campaigning for the chance to stick it to Saddam for paving a walkway with a picture of GHWB.All protestations the "Bush should have known" simply point out the fact that if anyone should have known before 2000 it was the Clinton-Gore Administration. And if anyone should have made terrorism an issue it was "objective" journalism or Al Gore. But of course, Al Gore had been on the Flight 800 commission, and had spiked increases in airport security in exchange for campaign contributions from the airlines.
Ping. Succinct and well done.
David Horowitz is a true believer and a profound analyst.
He has earned my support and respect.
If they win in November, they will have pulled off the biggest fraud in the history of American politics.
Just had to repeat that.
Hits the nail on the head for sure.
Nancee
Applause for Horowitz!
John Kerry is the Manchurian Candidate.
>>[Kerry] is a man who came back from Vietnam to stab not only his country but his comrades-in-arms in the back.
HE BETRAYED THIS COUNTRY! HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS!
Amazing how much Horowitz can say in four short paragraphs!
BTTT
In 2002, Democrats claimed they lost because they "didn't get their message out". Seems they realized that they lost because they did.
This time around, they've decided to disguise their message and hope to get away with it. If they don't, they'll have only one course of action left to stay viable as a party: THROW THEIR ELITIST LEADERS OUT AND CHANGE THEIR MESSAGE.
Kerry said, "I am going to begin by telling America the truth."
Let us begin with something real simple, very recent and still unanswered. Did your wife call certain people un-American?
Not only during the convention, they have had to obscure their core values for years.
My whole family is liberal, and they see the fraud, but claim that Republicans are living a lie also. I think there is going to be such a contrast between the two conventions that we're going to wish more people saw this hide-the-weenie-fest.
Young people in particular are going to see the difference and swing our way, IMHO.
